Product Description A woman has to decide if she wants to stay with her husband after three decades together in this German drama with a comedic undertow. Inge (Ursula Werner) is an ordinary woman in her mid-60s who is married to Werner (Horst Rehberg). Inge and Werner have been together for over 30 years, and while their relationship is still a happy one, it's clear that in most respects their lives have fallen into a rut. Inge makes extra money mending clothes for others, and when she drops off a pair of trousers for one of her customers, Karl (Horst Westphal), he invites her in for a moment. Inge and Karl sense an immediate attraction to one another, and after a few minutes together they repair to the bedroom. Unwilling to lie to her husband, Inge confesses her infidelity to Werner, but at the same time she admits she wants to continue her affair with Karl. After all their years of marriage, Werner isn't interested in an open relationship, and their daughter, Petra (Steffi Kuehnert), is appalled by her mother's brazen behavior. Unable to have her cake and eat it too, Inge realizes she must choose between a man she's loved most of her adult life and one who has brought a new excitement to her autumn years. Cloud 9 (aka Wolke 9) was an official selection at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival.

Excellent movie nicely filmes. Ursela Werner is the most excellent actress. It is subtitled. Gray words on a black background, it is sometimes difficult to read. But the movie is well worth the veiwing.

Skip this one
Stupid film. Poor acting. Actors were much too old. The concept could have been reached easier with actors in their 50's and early 60's. Waste of money

Brilliant movie
In case you forgot that seniors have interior lives, see this movie. Acting, directing, editing got it all right.

Senior Love
I enjoy this movie of two seniors love making. Two normal people in love making and not afraid to be seen the way they look!! The German film did a very good job. I recommend this movie to any seniors enjoy older love making!!!! I would like to see more flims like this Cloud 9!!!(Sub).

This is a very moving story. Superb and convincing actors, so authentic I almost felt like a fly on the wall at times. The sex scenes are tasteful and not at all contrived and the relationships are tender, genuine and ultimately, very recognizable. The film demonstrates how love is no respecter of age and the dilemma of human relationships is perpetual. Sadly, it also shows the painful face of love and the responsibility of choices. I would recommend it to anyone who has ever fallen in love with the right person at the wrong time. Or, indeed, anyone interested in basic humanity and our frailties and strengths. It is a joyful story, though not wholly so, for as in real life, it seems there's always a price to pay...

Me encanta

per le tematiche raccontate e interpretate dagli attori un film che fa pensare alla problematica della solitudine delle persone anziane.

Il titolo originale "yes we can" è molto più centrato di quello italiano, anche se non era facile da tradurre. In una società dove oltre all'estendersi dell'età media anche i costumi cambiano, parlare di amore e sesso oltre i sessanta anni con cruda rappresentazione e senza cadere nelle inutili ironie dell'autocommiserazione non è facile. Il regista ci è a mio avviso riuscito e gli attori che sembrano usciti dall'anonimato della terza età recitano i propri ruoli con drammatica perfezione.

Pensaba que se centraría en la vida sexual de las personas mayores, pero en realidad me parece más un estudio psicológico sobre las decisiones que tomamos en la vida y sus consecuencias. El ser nosotros mismos o ser lo que los demás esperan de nosotros. Muy interesante!
